The 19 pages that link to Oncogene, each with the reason it gives.

• CancerRelated: Oncogenes can push cancer cells to divide or resist cell death.

• CarcinogenBroader topic: Mutations induced by carcinogens can activate oncogenes and promote uncontrolled growth.

• Cell cycleRelated: Oncogenes can push cells through growth and division signals.

• Signal transductionRelated: Mutations in signaling components can drive persistent growth-promoting activity.

• CarcinogenesisRelated: Carcinogenesis can activate proto-oncogenes, giving affected cells a growth advantage.

• Tumor suppressor geneCompared with: Oncogenes promote cancer through excessive activity, unlike tumor suppressors, which promote it through lost activity.

• LeukemiaRelated: Leukemia-associated genetic changes can activate growth-promoting pathways.

• p53Compared with: Oncogenes push growth; p53 suppresses growth when cellular conditions become dangerous.

• CarcinogenicityBroader topic: Some carcinogens activate growth-promoting genes that contribute to tumor formation.

• Radiation-induced cancerRelated: Radiation-associated mutations can activate growth-promoting genes.

• Cancer researchBroader topic: Oncogenes reveal how specific growth signals become persistently active in tumors.

• Somatic cellRelated: Somatic activation can drive a cell lineage toward uncontrolled proliferation.

• Benign tumorRelated: Changes in growth-promoting genes can contribute to benign tumor formation.

• NeoplasmRelated: Activated oncogenes can drive neoplastic proliferation.

• Point mutationRelated: Point mutations can activate oncogenes by changing protein function.

• Renato DulbeccoRelated: Tumor-virus research helped reveal that cancer can arise through specific genetic changes in cells.

• SarcomaRelated: Certain sarcoma-associated fusions act as oncogenes, disrupting normal cell growth.

• Tim HuntRelated: Some cyclins act as oncogenes when their production or regulation is abnormal.

• History of cancerBroader topic: The discovery of oncogenes gave cancer a molecular mechanism absent from earlier theories.
